You are correct when you say you don't know..


So? I ate at KFC in Okinawa when I served...

Was it a new thing when you served? It was meant to indicate I haven't been to Kentucky since 1968.

There wasn't even a McDonalds in Tokyo when I was there.

Tugboat crew?

Mitch has been around way too long. A good reason to have term limits on all politicians. He is crooked as hell.

You don't like the Turtle?  :) I agree with the term limits.

I never said it was, also KFC was not new in 1968, just in your head. PL posted the fact that disproves your fantasy that KFC was a "new thing" as you call it in your expirience...

Seeing as how Harlan Sanders started that in 1930 and the first franchise was in 1952 and in Salt Lake City, Utah, it makes someone very old if he ate at one in 1930. Sanders sold it to former Governor John Y. Brown in 1964  along with some other investors who really made it more popular .
 Lol. Heck KFC is all over Asia, Europe and other countries. Kiev, Ukraine had 13 McDonald's at one time.

1968, 4 years old by your post. It was fairly new then, the franchise we are all familiar with today. I never heard of them before. There were none in the northeast.

Bytch McTurtle's most devoted base is trailer trash, they are the dumbfks that will give up their rights so Bytch can add to his wealth at their expense...

New to me. Nobody ate that crap up north. They're still not all that popular.

Wrong again, it was started as a franchise in 1952 with Sanders running it and was national in the 1960s, they were partners with the Big Boy franchise system in the nation Sander's sold it because it taxed him physically as well as fiscally, it stressed him. He sold it to Brown in exchange for lifetime employment security ie official company spokesperson.

KFC was featured in the James Bond film Goldfinger in 1964, filmed in 1963, it was well known by then...

Also Ft Cambell Ky is not next door to Corbin...

What does Ft. Cambell have to do with anything?  A lot closer than Ft. Knox where I was.

Seriously? Probably the one where I ate.

I believe the franchises you speak of were independent restaurants with a contract with the Colonel. I don't believe it was called Kentucky Fried Chicken until it was sold in 1963

Just got wind of this Turtle guy, looked him up and saw on a facebook link.

Turtle caught my eye on this page because I was thinking of buying a turtle and having a turtle as a pet has been on my mind for quite some time now.

Is this Turtle a candidate for presidency? Is he a democrat?

So I take it you don't like Turtles policies. I just found out about him here tonight. Did  quick reading on his facebook link from google. He sounds ok, but I'd have to do more research on him.

He is the Senate majority leader and a Republican.   

I noticed it is legal to sell turtles here in Florida. They're illegal in NJ. I believe they're still legal in Pennsylvania too.

Realtime and I go way back. He knows my MOS and correctly assumed I was referring to Ft. Knox or remembered me mentioning it before. He said, I too served at Ft. Knox.

What is Turtles real name? I never heard of him, but I don't follow poliics too closely.

Thanks for the tip, I'm still deciding if I want a turtle. it would have to be a Russian Tortoise for easier care, and they don't get too large in size.
